Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 443 The Calculation of the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan

Just as Ye Feng and his companions drove away, disappearing into the vast snowy expanse, three figures suddenly swept across the sky and landed on the highest peak of the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range.

Standing upright, the three men gazed in the direction where Ye Feng and the others had departed, remaining silent for a long time. These three were none other than Hong Tiandu and two elders of the Hong Family.

After a long while, Hong Tiandu finally clenched his teeth and said resentfully, "Damn it, if it weren't for that woman's sudden outburst, this Ye kid would have been wiped out by me!"

At this, Hong Tiandu turned to the two Hong Family elders and asked, "Uncles, is that woman truly one of our Hong Family people?"

The two Hong Family elders remained silent. After a long pause, the man on the left finally let out a long sigh and said, "The Wings of Light are an inheritance of our Hong Family from ancient times and one of the two supreme heritages, though it has been lost to our generation. However, this heritage has a particular trait."

"A particular trait, what is it?" Hong Tiandu immediately asked.

"The trait is that the Wings of Light, this supreme technique, is passed down through bloodline inheritance. Therefore, the woman beside Ye Feng must undoubtedly be a descendant of our Hong Family," the Hong Family elder explained.

At that moment, Hong Tiandu fell silent, his expression turning quite unsightly. The Hong Family elder then asked, "By the way, what is the relation between that woman and that Ye kid?"

Hong Tiandu gritted his teeth and said, "She's that kid's wife, or rather, his fiancée to be precise, as they haven't officially tied the knot."

"Just a fiancée? In that case, there's room for easing this matter," the other Hong Family elder suddenly interjected.

Hong Tiandu quickly asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by that? Surely we're not considering easing relations with that Ye kid. That wouldn't be acceptable, would it?"

The Hong Family elder sneered and said, "Easing relations with that kid? Naturally, that's impossible. With the status and identity we possess in the Hong Family, that kid dares to disgrace us, so he must be cleansed with his blood!"

"Then uncle, what do you suggest?" Hong Tiandu asked.

"Since the woman is just a fiancée and not yet officially married, we should find a way to sever her relationship with that Ye kid and have her return to our Hong Family," advised the elder on the left.

"Indeed, that's a good plan. As soon as we get back, we should immediately inform the Dark Division to investigate this woman's background in detail. In addition, we in the Hong Family should check to see if any child has gone missing, and strive to find her biological parents!" The elder on the right added.

Hong Tiandu furrowed his brows and asked, "Uncles, what if the woman is unwilling to break off her relationship with that Ye kid and doesn't want to return to the family?"

The two Hong Family elders fell into silence once more, indicating that this was indeed a thorny and vexing issue.

All of a sudden, Hong Tiandu clenched his teeth and said word by word, "Of course, this matter might not be troublesome. After all, she's just a woman from our Hong Family. If she refuses to return, it will be considered betrayal. According to family rules, such betrayal is punishable by death. When the time comes, we'll dispatch a clan elder to exterminate her and that Ye kid together!"

The two Hong Family elders sighed and said, "This matter may not be so simple. Tiandu, you probably do not yet understand what that woman means to our family, or rather, what her Wings of Light technique means to the Hong Family."

Hong Tiandu clenched his teeth and said, "So what? Does that alone mean we can't kill her?"

The two Hong Family elders responded with a wry smile, "After all, it is the Wings of Light. This supreme technique has been lost to our Hong Family for nearly a thousand years. If it were to reemerge and be cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm, our Hong Family's strength could potentially increase by fifty percent. This would mean that our Hong Family will undoubtedly be able to suppress the other three Great Ancient Clans, so unless it's absolutely necessary, she must not be killed."

"If she were to be killed, we might cause this technique to be completely lost, since it is passed down through the bloodline. None of us can guarantee whether or not she is the last person in our Hong Family to possess the bloodline inheritance of this technique."

Suddenly, Hong Tiandu clenched his fists tightly and a muffled explosion of energy burst forth. He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "Damn it, this Ye kid really deserves to die, daring to meddle with the descendants of the Hong Family. Even if that woman cannot be killed, I will still smash Ye into ten thousand pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

The two elders said, "Let's return to the clan first. This matter is of great importance and must be reported to the clan elders and the patriarch for a final decision."

With these words, the three figures leaped into the air and disappeared into the vast snow.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng had already returned to the Northern Cloud Residence, but Hong Qingyan was still unconscious. After carrying her into the Inner Courtyard, Ye Feng began administering her breath regulation treatment. Soon, Hong Qingyan finally began to recover, her pale face slowly turning rosy and her breathing stabilizing.

"You're finally awake," Ye Feng said, relieved as he saw Hong Qingyan slowly open her eyes.

Rolling her eyes, Hong Qingyan said, "This is the Northern Cloud Residence. Are we safe, Big Brother Ye? Those three from the Hong Family didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Ye Feng shook his head, a mix of concern and annoyance in his voice, "Of course we're safe. Your wings were so powerful, who could withstand them? But let's make it clear, from now on you're not allowed to be so reckless and impulsive. Your Big Brother Ye isn't in such great danger."

With a charming smile, Hong Qingyan replied, "I was just worried about you, Big Brother Ye. Besides, I was so anxious at the time that I entered that state without warning, and in the end, I couldn't even control it myself."

Ye Feng furrowed his brow and asked, "After entering that state, are you still conscious?"

Hong Qingyan shook her head, and Ye Feng continued, "That is to say, that state is triggered by chance, and you still can't completely control it, nor can you use the Wing Technique at will?"

"Um." Hong Qingyan nodded.

Ye Feng fell silent, pondering for a while before asking, "By the way, Qingyan, do you still remember some things from your childhood, such as the origins of your biological parents?"

"I don't. As far as I can remember, since I was capable of memory, I was in the orphanage in Jiangdu, and then I was adopted by Grandpa." Qingyan explained, then suddenly asked, "By the way, Big Brother Ye, why do you suddenly bring this up?"

Ye Feng furrowed his brow, finally making up his mind, and said, "Originally, I didn't want to mention this to you, but since it concerns your identity, I think you have the right to know."

Hong Qingyan just nodded slightly without speaking, clearly indicating for Ye Feng to continue.

Ye Feng said, "According to the three members of the Hong Family, the Wings of Light Spell you used is a Heritage Spell of their family. Therefore, the three of them believe that you are a descendant of the ancient Hong Clan."

"I am from the Ancient Hong Clan?" Hong Qingyan was shocked and stared with wide eyes, frozen in place.

Ye Feng slightly nodded and then asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

After a long pause, Qingyan finally shook her head and said, "I don't know. I have no concept of anything before the orphanage, as I was just an infant then, including my biological parents. I don't even know why they abandoned me!"

As she spoke, a clear sense of loss, even sadness, appeared in Qingyan's expression.

Not wanting to let her sink too deeply into sorrow, Ye Feng quickly said, "Given this, let's set aside the matter for now. You focus on healing, and if what the three from the Hong Family said is true, I believe they will send someone to look for you again."

"Of course, if the Hong Family doesn't send anyone, and one day you want to clear things up, I will personally take you to the ancient Hong Clan to find out. How does that sound?"

"Good, thank you, Big Brother Ye!" Qingyan smiled sweetly, clearly feeling much better.

"Rest well, I'll go to the Divine Doctor Sect to find some medicines to stabilize your mind and spirit," said Ye Feng before he walked out of the bedroom, knowing that at this moment, Qingyan needed to be alone to think things through. Only after clearing her thoughts could she overcome the hurdle in her heart.

Of course, Ye Feng wouldn't personally go to the Divine Doctor Sect. After making a call to Yu Feiyu, everything would be arranged on that end, and he felt at ease leaving Qingyan in Yu Feiyu's care.

Then, Ye Feng summoned Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian and directly ordered them to take Duan Tian's Great General's Order to the Duan Family's vault and transport all treasures from there to the Imperial Martial Academy.

Duan Tian had been in a high position for many years, and it was clear that the Duan Family was a martial family, not an ordinary one. With the materials from the Duan Family, the operation of the Martial Academy would have much more support.

After that, Ye Feng checked on Leng Wuming in the backyard, who was still unconscious. His tendons and important bones were all broken, and without the legendary Black Jade Healing Paste, it'd be difficult for him to recover.

"Black Jade Healing Paste, looks like I will need to make a personal visit to the Buddhist Sect next!"

Ye Feng rubbed his forehead. Even though his Cultivation Realm had improved significantly by now, the pressure had also increased substantially.

Not to mention all the matters regarding the Tianyong Pavilion of the Imperial Capital, just the seven major Sects of Ancient Martial Arts alone were enough to cause a headache, not to mention the mysterious and powerful Four Great Ancient Clans. Additionally, several foreign powers were also eyeing them with covetous interest.

Of course, these were not the main concerns. What really made Ye Feng feel a sense of urgency was the legendary Alien Space-Time. Once this Alien Territory opened and entered this world, it would lead to chaos everywhere, even endangering the entire world.

"Let's not worry about these things for now. First, I need to enter the secret chamber and absorb all the Origin Energy from the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll!" said Ye Feng, shaking his head. Despite the pressing circumstances, strengthening himself was the ultimate solution. Only by doing everything possible to enhance his strength could he secure a position for himself in the coming upheaval.

During the battle in the Heavenly Movement Mountain Range, Ye Feng had absorbed a considerable amount of Origin Energy through the Divine Path Source. If he could fully refine and assimilate this energy, he estimated that the Qi Essence and Qi Force in his Acupoints would reach approximately fourteen hundred, and a good portion could be transformed into Spirit Essence.

For a full day and night, Ye Feng did not leave his closed-off space. The next day at dawn, he emerged, just stepping out of the study when a guard hurried in to report that a person from the Sect of the Ancient Clan had come to visit.

"Sects of Ancient Martial Arts? What are they here for? Have them come in!" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and then stepped towards the reception hall.

Of course, by this time Ye Feng clearly understood that the reason the Sects of Ancient Martial Arts had come was most likely due to the so-called Martial Arts World Summit. The target of this summit, of course, was himself, labeled a pariah of the Martial Forest.
